Hygiene in the Cure of Disease.


The progress of hygienic medicine in
the last fifty years is the medical fact OF
the present age, and the fact that will
stand out in boldest relief when the
history of this period shall be written
by some future Esculapian scholar.
But, rapid and effective as this pro-
gress has been, the principles of hygiene
are yet in their infancy We have
learned to appreciate the true value o.
hygienic principles in the prevention of
diseases OF the epidemic type; and the
medical profession. throwing aside all
selfish rccollections, has been the first
to teach the practice of these principles
and to prove their force and vitality.
The next step in the way of advance
ment is to demonstrate that the same
principles are as useful and as necessary
IN the treatment of actual disease rs
they are in prevention.
A great advantage in the hygienic
treatment of disease is, that it does not,
or at least need not, interfere with
sound and experience-proved modes of
treatment of a medicinal kind. The
scientific physician finds. in fact, that
there is always consistent plan for
combining the medicinal and hygienic
systems. He sees that the two systems
are one; he sees further that the mere
medicinal plan without the hygienic is
in all cases imperfect, and in some cases
worse than imperfect.
The practical details of hygienic
medicine in relation to the treatment of
disease have, however, vet to be
wrought out more fully. This will be
sure work, but slow. Necessarily slow,
because il is hard to give up old friend

the public than to assume to effect the

1t is vain, it is sticking in the slough
of hopelessness, TO pander to these popu-
lar weaknesses; for though they must
de out, and, indeed, are dying out
daily. they will go the sooner if they
are effectually damped, and if some
thing real and common sense is put in

Gathering Grapes.


How much will one acre yieldP Well,
in Napa rrlley they show you q field
that yielos fourteen tons of grapes to
the acre. From eight to. ten tons is the
average crop. These grapes are sold by
the ton. They are sometimes sold as
they stand; sometimes they are sold on
delivery at some wine-press. They
bring from $50 to $50 per ton, accord
ing to the yield, rs a rule. But the year
that France sent over aud bought up all
the wine these prices were more than
doubled And ought TO mention that
these are zine grapes | am writing
about now. The only table-grapes
which grow upon the Sierras near the
line of the eastern railroads bring
from 500 to 5000 per ton, and are ship
ped to Chicago and elsewhere beyond
the Rocky mountains. And may men,

southern states ought to wake up and

Sentimental and Comic Songs.

An interesting fact about successful
songs may be noted, and that is, only
sentimental songs make any money.
Humorous songs become very popular.
They are applauded in the theater when
favorite singer sings them, and are
laughed at unrestrainedly. but very few
in the audience ever think of buying
copies of them. This is peculiarly true
of that description of humorous ditty
known as the topical song. . 1t may be
explained that this is a song in which
the material of the different verses is ar
ranged to give point to significant
phase which invariably forms the last
line Of the verse. The performance
practically amounts to piggling with
language, the effect coming from the
humorous and unexpected illustration
which can be adduced of the idea en-
bodied in the adopted phrase.
Given on the stage by an expert
singer, who enforces the points of the
verses by appropriate action and facial
expression, these songs are very effective.
Sung in the parlor by an ordinary
vocalist and without the effect which
comes from the assembly of n large
number OF people. these songs almost
invariably fall fiat. In consequence
they are very seldom sung there, and
the music publishers who give them to
the world find the world ungrateful,
much to the publishers peeuniary grief.
On the other hand, a sentimental song
may be sung in the home circle by an
inexperienced singer with very fair eff
feet Somehow or other the underlying
sentiment survives the most outrageous
treatment. 1t has better staying quail
ties than humor has. The melodies are
simple, the thoughts expressed find 3
welcome among all classes of people,
and the sheet-music finds its way to
thousands of piano-racks throughout
the land; and so the publisher becomes
happy and afiiuent-A T. Mail Gnd
